Brief History Lands taken from the Town of Greenfield and the Town of Northumberland formed the Town of Hadley on February 27, 1801. On April 20, 1818 the southern portion became the Town of Corinth and in 1819, some of the western portion was added to the Town of Day, which reduced the size of the Town of Hadley to its present dimension. The early most settled areas were the hamlet center, Conklingville, which was flooded in 1930 to create the Sacandaga Reservoir.
Governing Body Format This information is not available at this time.
Growth/Development Trends Areas identified for potential future development in the Town of Hadley Land Use Plan include commercial development along NYS Route 9 corridor and the interchange with I-87; Hadley Industrial Park which is a part of the Saratoga County Empire Zone (provides a series of financing and tax abatement incentives for businesses expanding within the zone; is the second largest Empire Zone area in any single municipality in Saratoga County); and maximize commercial value in the NYS Route 197 corridor (Landscape, Architecture and Engineering, P.C., 2008).

Community Classifications
Table 9.13-6: Community Classifications of the Town of Hadley
Program Classification Date Classified
Community Rating System (CRS) NP N/A Building Code Effectiveness Grading Schedule (BCEGS) NP N/A Public Protection NP N/A Storm Ready NP N/A Firewise NP N/A N/A = Not applicable. NP = Not participating. - = Unavailable.
The classifications listed above relate to the community’s effectiveness in providing services that may impact its vulnerability to the natural hazards identified. These classifications can be viewed as a gauge of the community’s capabilities in all phases of emergency management (preparedness, response, recovery and mitigation) and are used as an underwriting parameter for determining the costs of various forms of insurance. The CRS class applies to flood insurance while the BCEGS and Public Protection classifications apply to standard property insurance. CRS classifications range on a scale of 1 to 10 with class one being the best possible classification, and class 10 representing no classification benefit. Firewise classifications include a higher classification when the subject property is located beyond 1000 feet of a creditable fire hydrant and is within 5 road miles of a recognized Fire Station. Criteria for classification credits are outlined in the following documents:
• The Community Rating System Coordinators Manual; • The Building Code Effectiveness Grading Schedule; • The ISO Mitigation online ISO’s Public Protection website at:
https://www.isomitigation.com/ppc/; • The National Weather Service Storm Ready website at
https://www.weather.gov/stormready/; and, • The National Firewise Communities website at http://firewise.org/.

Notes:
1. Prevention: Government, administrative or regulatory actions or processes that influence the way land and buildings are developed and built. These actions also include public activities to reduce hazard losses. Examples include planning and zoning, floodplain local laws, capital improvement programs, open space preservation, and storm water management regulations.
2. Property Protection: Actions that involve (1) modification of existing buildings or structures to protect them from a hazard or (2) removal of the structures from the hazard area. Examples include acquisition, elevation, relocation, structural retrofits, storm shutters, and shatter-resistant glass.
3. Public Education and Awareness: Actions to inform and educate citizens, elected officials, and property owners about hazards and potential ways to mitigate them. Such actions include outreach projects, real estate disclosure, hazard information centers, and school-age and adult education programs.
4. Natural Resource Protection: Actions that minimize hazard loss and also preserve or restore the functions of natural systems. These actions include sediment and erosion control, stream corridor restoration, watershed management, forest and vegetation management, and wetland restoration and preservation.
5. Emergency Services: Actions that protect people and property, during and immediately following, a disaster or hazard event. Services include warning systems, emergency response services, and the protection of essential facilities.
6. Structural Projects: Actions that involve the construction of structures to reduce the impact of a hazard. Such structures include dams, setback levees, floodwalls, retaining walls, and safe rooms.

*This initiative has a Medium priority based on the prioritization scheme used in this planning process (implementation based on grant funding), however it is recognized that addressing repetitive and severe repetitive loss properties is considered a high priority by Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and NYS Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services (NYS DHSES) (as expressed in the State HMP), and thus shall be considered a High priority for all participants in the planning process.
Explanation of Priorities High Priority - A project that meets multiple objectives (i.e., multiple hazards), benefits
exceeds cost, has funding secured or is an on-going project and project meets eligibility requirements for the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) or Pre-Disaster Mitigation Grant Program (PDM) programs. High priority projects can be completed in the short term (1 to 5 years).
Medium Priority - A project that meets goals and objectives, benefits exceeds costs, funding has not been secured but project is grant eligible under, HMGP, PDM or other grant programs. Project can be completed in the short term, once funding is completed. Medium priority projects will become high priority projects once funding is secured.
Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Saratoga County, New York January 2, 2019 9.13-15
Low Priority - Any project that will mitigate the risk of a hazard, benefits do not exceed the costs or are difficult to quantify, funding has not been secured and project is not eligible for HMGP or PDM grant funding, and time line for completion is considered long term (1 to 10 years). Low priority projects may be eligible other sources of grant funding from other programs. A low priority project could become a high priority project once funding is secured as long as it could be completed in the short term.
